THOMAS JOHN CAI-IILL, OF CORNING, CALIFORNIA.

GARMENT-POCKET.

Specification of Letters l atent.

Application filed August 7, 1912. Serial No..713,7 51.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. CAI-11ml, a citizen of Australia, and a resident of Corning, in the county of Tehama and State of California, have invented a new and Imroved Garment-Pocket, of which the folowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in pockets for mensouter garments, particular reference to the construction of a pocket whereby foreign matter such as dust, water or the like may pass through the bot tom thereof and escape, and without destroyin the usual functions of the pocket.

he fore oing and other objects of the invention wil be hereinafter fully described and claimed and illustrated in the drawings accom anying this s ecification in which like c aracters. of re erence indicate corre sponding parts in all the views, and in which- I Figure 1 is a front elevation of a working or hunting coat provided with thedevice made in accordance with this invention, a portion of the garment broken away to show the location of the improvement; Fig. 2 is a vertical section of a part of a pocket with the attachment thereto; Fig. 3 is a detail pers ective view of a on and Fig. 4 is a deta1l, artly in plan an partly in section, on the ine 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring particularly to the drawings I show at 10 a pocket made in accordance with this invention and fitted at the lower art or bottom thereof with a cup 11 made in any suitable form and of any suitable size and material. I prefer, however, to make the cup 11 of metal or other rigid material and having an open top surrounds by a flange 12 whereby the cup may extend through and below the lower margin of the pocket indicated art-13, the flange 12 being the garment and'has used for the purpose of securing the on to the pocket as. by stitching or the like. Xlso the cup should preferably be flattened or elhptical in cross section so as hot to distend unnecessarily and thereby become unsightly. The bottom of the cup is closed, but the'wall surrounding the bottom is preferably provided with a series of holes .14 through which the foreign matter which the pocket may be dis-- may find its way into charged after finding its way alon the bottom of the pocket into the cup. The bottom 13 of the pocket may, for this reason, he made on a slant or incline, will be understood that the holes'may be so sized and arranged as to prevent the loss of articles from the pocket which are desired to be carried therein. 7

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination with a garment pocket of a cup attached to the bottom thereof an comprising a rigid open topped member having a closed bottom and aving a series of holes in the wall thereof adjacent the bottom.

2. The combination with a arment pocket having an inclined bottom 0 a cup having a marginal flange around its top and secured to said bottom, said cup having a closed bottom, and a series of holes surrounding the wall thereof adjacent said bottom, substantially as set forth. 7

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
